Getting albums this time of year was always very cool. For me I always enjoyed my Mother saying if I got the wrong group we can take it back....

Hmmm I remember a couple of years back in the 70's my sisters gave me Earth, Wind and Fire's Gratitude, Another year The Commodores Midnight Magic...and too many others that I can't remember at the moment...Oh but one year I got the Bay City Rollers - Rollin' and Once Upon A Star, which were not available in the U.S. at the time. I was so happy that was one of my best gifts being a major BCR fan!!! LOL

I can remember getting several LPs from packages under the tree. Beatles - Rubber Soul, John Lennon - Imagine, Rolling Stones - Goats Head Soup. I bought DSOTM myself but it was around this time of year. I think I got Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here as an xmas gift one year, and I was totally blown away for several days after that. Same with Eagles - Desperado. I was pretty specific in my wish list so they weren't surprises but they were relatively new releases and new to me, so it was a treat.

Most all the Beatles, Byrds snd Beach Boys I have are Christmas gifts. Sounds like we kind of got stuck on the B's.

I think it was '86 or '87 my mom gave me "Mob Rules" from Sabbath on cd.

i have a sad tale to tell

music was never really a gift in my holiday history..... This year my son gave me the Rush Snakes and Arrows on Vinyl. I love it

It is always great to start a new tradition. Hope you find all the good records in Skagit Valley and I bet there is a bunch.
